The Effects of Learning Management Using STEM Education the Topic of Substances in Everyday Life on Problem Solving Ability and Creative Thinking of PrathomSuksaVI Students
Keywords:
Learning Management Using STEM Education, Problem Solving Ability, Creative ThinkingAbstract
The purposes of this study were 1) to compare the problem solving abilities of Prathom Suksa VI students before and after learning under
learning management using STEM Education ; 2) to compare the creative thinking scores of Prathom Suksa VI students before and after learning under learning management using STEM Education ; 3) to
study the problem solving ability and creative thinking gain scores of Prathom Suksa VI students learning under learning management using STEM Education ; and 4) to compare the creative thinking gain scores between the fluency thinking, flexibility thinking, and originality thinking of students learning under learning management using STEM Education. The research sample consisted of 22 Prathom Suksa VI students of a middle sized primary school in Yala province, obtained by
cluster random sampling. The research instruments used in this study were STEM Education learning management plans in the topic of Substances in Everyday Life, a problem solving ability test ; and a
creative thinking test. The data were analyzed using the mean, standard deviation, development score, t - test, and analysis of variance. The research findings revealed that 1) the post -learning problem solving ability scores of the students learning under learning management
using STEM Education were significantly higher than their pre - learning counterpart scores at the .01 level of significance; (pre – learning = 15.77, S.D. = 3.48, post - learning
= 22.00, S.D. = 3.70) 2) the post - learning creative thinking scores of the students learning under learning management using STEM Education were significantly higher than their pre - learning counterpart scores at the .01 level of significance; (pre - learning
= 11.05, S.D. = 3.59, post - learning
= 16.95, S.D. = 3.76) 3) the students learning under learning management
using STEM Education mostly (59.09 %) had the problem solving gain scores in the moderate level, and 45.46% of students had the creative thinking gain scores in the high and very high levels; and 4) the fluency thinking gain scores ( = 44.99, S.D.= 23.50) of students learning under learning management using STEM Education were significantly different of flexibility thinking (
= 22.66, S.D.= 13.89) and originality thinking gain scores (
= 22.55, S.D.= 14.85) at the .01 level of significance, while the flexibility thinking and originality thinking gain scores were not different, and students were best able to develop fluency thinking, followed by flexibility thinking and originality thinking.
